I liked the character of Noah and I liked just how far he would go to protect Sophia, but all through the book I found myself thinking why the hell doesn't she just block her ex's number? it really started to annoy me and I know his character had to be there to drive the story, but the annoyance would bring me out of the story.
Its well written with well laid out characters and its just my personal bugbear with the ex.

3.5 ⭐️ curse Goodreads for not allowing 1/2 stars 😒

Reformed is a book in a series around the chance brothers. I didn’t read any other books in this series previously, but felt like it could be read as a stand alone for the most part.

Sophia is a PR rep for Noah’s band. They have a long history, and long yearning for one another. They are finally in town together and their chemistry sparks like no other.

They end up in a fake engagement that leads to them both falling more and more, and realizing it was real along.

Overall I felt the story was okay. There wasn’t a lot of build up, I felt like they both were instantly in love at the start and they were pretty vocal about it. The conflicts weren’t too crazy, and resolved fairly quickly which made the story a little stale towards the end. But, it was well written and I loved the side characters!

Thank you NetGalley & victory editing for the ARC 🩷

Reformed is a cute, low stakes friends-to-lovers story about a PR representative and an up-and-coming rockstar. This book is perfect for people looking for a light, fast paced read with a good amount of spice. Every conflict in this story is resolved very quickly, and I did find myself wishing the story had more struggle and grit to it, hence the minus 2 stars.

Tras romper su compromiso con un multimillonario controlador, Sophia Hernández intenta reconstruir su reputación profesional como estratega de relaciones públicas. Su gran oportunidad llega con el lanzamiento del tequila de una celebridad, lo que la lleva a Las Vegas… y de vuelta a Noah Chance, el carismático guitarrista de una banda emergente, con quien ha compartido algo más que mensajes inocentes.

Noah está a punto de alcanzar la fama junto a su grupo, pero cuando su camino se cruza nuevamente con Sophia, los límites entre el negocio y el deseo comienzan a desdibujarse. Fingir ser pareja frente a la prensa podría ser la estrategia perfecta para desviar rumores y proteger carreras, pero la química entre ellos es difícil de contener.

En medio de conciertos, campañas publicitarias y secretos del pasado que amenazan con reaparecer, Sophia y Noah deberán decidir si arriesgarlo todo por una relación real… o si su falso compromiso será solo otra historia en el mundo del espectáculo.

Noah tuvo años para poner límites a Cassidy cuando era evidente que ella se le colgaba, o al menos pudo haber volteado la cara para evitar el beso. Él mismo narra cómo vio venir todo lo que ocurrió… y no hizo nada. Esa pasividad le resta credibilidad a su supuesto gran amor por Sophie. Y si bien nunca quiso que ese momento con Cassidy ya que todo fue orquestado por su mánager, igual me hizo pensar menos de él.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest

Noah, a rockstar, helps her PR manager to avoid her ex-bf by pretending to be her finacee. Except that friends become lovers while pretending....

Love both main characters. Terrific banter. Lovely story. So many LOL scenes. The steam is terrific

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Ok I didn’t think another author could beat Lana Ferguson describing a sex scene but I believe Nikki Kiley just did it. Sophia a PR and venture capitalist woman on a mission after a serious toxic relationship. Noah an up and coming rockstar with a construction company has falling hard for Soph but unable to tell her. The timing is always off. The sparks fly in this book from the get go. A slow burn that is super hot in detail. Fake it until you make it or is it real forever. Couldn’t put it down.

this was a strong fifth entry in the Chance Brothers series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the romance element that I was expecting from this type of book. It uses the romance element that I was wanting and enjoyed from this type of book. The characters had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall rockstar element that I was wanting and was glad it was used so well. NIkki Kiley was able to weave a strong writing style and hope there is more in this series.
